This week marks the season’s end for the Lexington Farmer’s Market. There will be one more market date on the wednesday before Thanksgiving, but after that, where are you going to find local foods during the winter months? “Local Food Forager” Tara Miller has come up with an answer: a winter farmer’s market called “Farm to You”. The basic idea is that twice monthly, you’ll be able to get get fresh local food from Farm to You. There will be the option to pick up your order directly at the Farm to You hub on Waddell Street, or if you’re in Lexington, you can get your order delivered direct to your home.

Broadview Ranch is working with Farm to You in hopes of providing another way for customers to get our grass-fed beef, truly free-range eggs, and exquisite acorn-finished pork. Look for our products along with such items as artisan cheeses and butters, coffee, baked goods, root vegetables, chard, kale, collards, and salad greens.  To find out more, contact Tara at staramiller@hotmail.com or 540-460-2990.

In addition to Farm to You, there’s another farm-to-table venture in Rockbridge County, Cheese to You.  Megan Mary Hall is offering artisan American and Old World cheeses on a subscription basis.  If you were lucky enough to attend last week’s opening reception, you got to enjoy some of the delicacies that she will be offering.  (The Ewe Blue was incredible!)  For more info, contact meganmaryhall@yahoo.com, phone: 540-463-4389, cell: 540-319-3129.

These are great ways to bring excellent foods into your kitchen and support family farms at the same time.  The money we spend at Farm to You and Cheese to You will stay in our communities, making it easier for businesses like this to thrive and continue to deliver delicious, high-quality food for us and our families.
